New
Jersey
School
Criticized
for
'Christian'
Terror
Drill

The
Burlington
Township
High
School
in New
Jersey
along
with the
local
police
and fire
departments
are
taking
heat for
a fake
hostage
drill
conducted
on
school
grounds
last
month.
The
drill,
aimed at
testing
the
reactions
of
faculty
and
first
responders
during a
simulated
attack,
included
an
imaginary
scenario
that has
some
Christians
up in
arms.
During
the
simulation,
two mock
gunmen
from a
fake
right-wing
fundamentalist
group
called
the "New
Crusaders"
- a
group
that
does not
believe
in the
separation
of
church
and
state -
stormed
the
school.
The idea
was that
they
were
angry
that one
of their
daughters
was
expelled
for
praying
before
class.
Nobody
from the
school,
including
from the
superintendent's
office
or the
police
department,
was
willing
to talk
about
the
drill on
camera,
but the
township
issued a
statement
saying
the
chosen
scenario
was
never
intended
to
offend
any
group
and was
meant to
be
generic
in
nature.
Former
Atheist
Says
God
Exists
By:

It
didn't
make
news,
on
the
front
or
back
pages
of
leading
American
newspapers,
but
Professor
Antony
Flew,
a
prominent
British
philosopher
who
is
considered
the
world's
best-known
atheist,
has
cited
advancements
in
science
as
proof
of
the
existence
of
God.
This
is
comparable
to
Hugh
Hefner
announcing
that
he
is
becoming
a
celibate.
At
a
symposium
sponsored
by
the
Institute
for
Metascientific
Research,
Flew
said
he
has
come
to
believe
in
God
based
on
developments
in
DNA
research.
Flew,
author
of
the
book,
Darwinian
Evolution,
declared,
"What
I
think
the
DNA
material
has
done
is
show
that
intelligence
must
have
been
involved
in
getting
these
extraordinarily
diverse
elements
together.
The
enormous
complexity
by
which
the
results
were
achieved
look
to
me
like
the
work
of
intelligence."

Hammer
was
discovered,
an equally
startling
discovery
was made in
what is now
known as
Dinosaur
Park in
Texas. The
region is
famous for
its many
trails of
fossilized
dinosaur
footprints,
made when
the earth
was wet and
soft, and
preserved
forever when
the soil
hardened.
What was
found was a
part of what
is now known
as the
Taylor Man
Trail. Mixed
with and
sometimes
crossing the
dinosaur
paths, were
the
footprints
of a human
being. The
controversy
surrounding
the
footprints
was
immediate,
for obvious
reasons.
Evolution
teaches us
that
dinosaurs
became
extinct
about 65
million
years ago,
at the end
of the
Cretaceous
period, and
that humans
appeared a
long tie
afterward.
But these
prints were
obviously
made at the
same time,
which is a
big
contradiction
of standard
accepted
models of
the Earth's
history of
life.
To
accomplish
this
ProGenesis
has
invested
in many
museum
quality
replicas
and
actual
fossils
that
most
kids
love to
see and
handle.
Beside
the
fossils,
he also
brings
his pet
Macaw
named
Mookie
to youth
groups.
He uses
the bird
to
illustrate
why
design
had to
be
involved
with
God's
creation.
Mookie
loves
children
and the
kids
love to
hold and
pet the
large
bird.
